The Owner Says

You will be immersed in the woodland, able to reconnect with nature, unplug from technology and find refuge from urban existence and everyday life. As one recent Tripadvisor reviewer put it  – “re-wilding the children at Dernwood”, I couldn’t have put it better myself!

About Dernwood Farm Camping & Glamping

Suitable For

Tents, dogs (on leads) – yes. Caravans, campervans, groups – no. This is a family campsite: no electronic noise or raucous explosions after the North Star appears.

Nearby

The Cuckoo Trail, a spit from the site, is a great option for cycling or walks –weaving through woods, fields, and the best of Sussex countryside. Normans Bay, named after the Normans who landed here a thousand years ago, is just 20 minutes away. Pop into The Observatory Science Centre (01323 832731); on selected evenings you can look through their telescopes at events in the night sky.

Food & Drink

Stock up on steaks before heading to camp – they’re hung for 21 days so are bursting with flavour. Beyond the wood in Chiddingly, the Six Bells (01825 872227) comes highly recommended (voted Best Bargain Pub in Britain) for its tasty fare and shabby-chic decor.
